Running the Rainbow

I signed up for a colour run next month… I do not run, in fact I hate running. But I was pressured and I committed, so guess I am running. It is only 4km, but I’m sure it will be 4km of pure torture! The event is on August 24th, so I have 1 month to prepare. It’s so hard to fit running into my workout schedule, my legs are so from leg day, and as soon as they’re un-sore it’s leg day again. I do run during my HIIT, but that is mainly sprint-jog, so who knows I may surprise myself!

Looking at this picture does make it look like a lot of fun! What if it gets in your mouth though? In your lungs? In your eyes? I want the paint to stay in my shirt, but not my skin. Also, I am not driving my car to this event, I will paint up someone else’s interior. Logistics – this is how my brain works.

This is the race I signed up for: http://runwaterloo.com/new-race-in-running-colour/
It is my local knock-off of this: http://thecolorrun.com/
